Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame Will Have Own Separate Campuses ~ Shared by Your Smart Phone Motorcycle Mount

Sturgis, SD, – October 24, 2017 – The Sturgis Rally may be over, but things are just getting started for the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame. The Museum is set to double within three years, and the Hall of Fame portion will have its own campus. Meanwhile the Main Street location will get a major revitalization, courtesy of generous donations from supporters, Board members and the Law Tigers.
“It’s been a busy summer,” says Sturgis Motorcycle Museum Executive Director Myrick Robbins. “Scott Peterson, of Scott Peterson Ford, has donated land for the second, larger Museum site,” notes Robbins. “This site will be off of Exit 32 and visible from the I-90. The Law Tigers are jump starting the building fund to ensure that the aggressive expansion plans are met, donating more than $100K to our capital campaign building fund,” he adds. “Our Museum is growing and within three years, the Hall of Fame portion will have its own campus near exit 32.”

“We are honored to be part of motorcycle history,” said Ari Levenbaum, on behalf of The Law Tigers, a professional association of motorcycle injury lawyers who help riders every day. “There are some amazing motorcycles on display and incredible heritage that needs to be shared with riders.”
In addition to the donation of the site by Scott Peterson and the funding from the Law Tigers, Board Member Bruce Eide generously donated the fees for the architectural design firm, 4FrontDesign, Inc. They have completed the preliminary plans for the second site. The larger building will house the Hall of Fame, pre-1938 collection and various galleries. “The overall facility will give the Museum space to offer educational programs, meeting and event space and a place for the community and visitors to experience motorcycling, learn about the great people of the Hall of Fame and their heritage,” notes Robbins.

“With the donations continuing to roll in, we have continued the expansion plans for the current Main and Junction through the 1500 Rider program,” says Robbins. “With the building maintenance up to speed and the permit process in motion, we have been working toward the expansion to continue to provide the downtown anchor and connection to the most famous Main Street in Motorcycling.”

Completion for Campus 1 – “Legendary Main Street” – is July 2019. Campus 2 -“Heritage Hill” – is planned to be completed in time for the 80th Anniversary in 2020. “Your support is key in getting these important programs finished. We are proud to be supported by you and the community of riders.”

About Ursula Wachowiak

My name is Ursula, aka Spider & now aka The B.R.O.A.D.(TM). I'm a mother, a grandmother, a friend, an organizer of bikers, and well... of course, I'm a BIKER. After some strange life events, I took a leap of faith to chase a dream. I ramped up my Virtual Assistant business called The Write Hand, and I left Illinois on February 25, 2013 in 34* temperatures for my solo female motorcycle tour of the USA. My blog and website serve as places where you can follow the journey. Most of The B.R.O.A.D.(TM) journey was spent camping where I could find a piece of God's country or a deserted building that nature was taking back and sometimes I was able to visit friends throughout the US for some couch surfing.
Unfortunately, on July 17, 2013 while on the way to my first Sturgis Rally, I was hit head-on by a car passing a semi in a deep blind curve. Despite a brief flatline, I returned to fight the good fight. I am a little shorter on one side since losing part of my left leg. I spent about 9 months recovering back in my root-land of Georgia.
On Easter Sunday, 2014, me and my livable 12x7 trailer hit the road again. I purchased a 2004 Heritage Softail on July 15, 2014, just two days after the 1st anniversary of my crash. I continue to live on the road and travel to biker events and generally be a tourist with visits to special people in mind. I am still growing The Write Hand, my Virtual Assistant business. I appreciate you visiting my site and here you will find all the shenanigans I am linked to...
